When most people think about hospice care, they think of terminally ill patients receiving care during the last months of their lives. But what most people forget is that hospice care also provides essential support for the families of those patients.

Losing a loved one is usually the most tragic and painful experience in a person’s life, and that’s why at All Caring Hospice we provide grieving and bereavement counseling to the families of our terminally ill patients.

Just as it is for hospice patients, emotional support, compassion and understanding is extremely important for their families. All Caring Hospice offers experienced grief specialists who provide families with opportunities to heal and regain their normal lives after the death of a loved one.

People have different views about life and death and everyone experiences grief differently. For some, the grief period lasts for several months or a year, while others may never fully recover from their loss without proper support.

Our trained bereavement counselors engage with hospice patients and their families both during group meetings and one-on-one conversations to provide support and emotional comfort when it’s needed the most.

If you would like to consult with an All Caring Hospice expert, our staff is always available to help.

“I will be forever grateful for the Director’s advice to call my sons home. We had been told that he had 3-6 months but when she came to speak with us, she could tell it would be sooner. They quickly got a hospital bed and pain meds for him that night. By the next day, my sons arrived and he died the following day with his family surrounding him. Thank you!”
